If you love donuts but hate deep frying them, I’ve got a recipe for you!

If you haven’t purchased an air fryer by now, this is the recipe that will convince you to do it!

So how do you do it? Get you a can of store-bought biscuit dough, and within 5 minutes, you can be enjoying fresh flaky donuts without a deep fryer!

Let me show you how.

How to Make Air Fryer Donuts

Ok this is really really simple:

Place each biscuit on a sturdy surface and cut a smaller hole out of the center with a biscuit cutter.

Brush a small bit of oil inside of the air fryer, and place the biscuits inside. Cook at 360 degrees for 5 minutes.

Dip the biscuites into glaze ( see recipe below for a vanilla AND chocolate glaze), allow to set and dip again.

Decorate and enjoy.

NOTES

• Your glaze should not be so thick it breaks the donuts when you dip them. However if when you dip them all the glaze is running off, its not thick enough.
• You can pour glaze over top (be sure to set down parchment paper under your cooling rack for best results)
• Your glaze can be changed to a variety of flavors using 1 tsp of flavored jello mix
